Yes, pretty please.

I live in a town of 400 thousand, it's basically 10 kilometers accross. Very easily walkable. Why does everyone drive? I'm about as fast on foot as when they're stuck in morning traffic. I'm also enjoying my time more than the people stuck in traffic. (And I'd enjoy it even more if there weren't so many cars around!)

I don't understand people who drive to the gym to walk there. They could just walk to the gym and back, instead of going to the gym...
